Summary

This is a single site, prospective, non-blinded, non-randomized, non-interventional study designed to evaluate the effect of changes in alveolar minute ventilation on the measurement of respiratory heat loss (enthalpy).

Detailed description

This is a single site, prospective, non-blinded, non-randomized, noninterventional study designed to evaluate the effect of changes in alveolar minute ventilation on the measurement of respiratory heat loss (enthalpy). Each patient will serve as their own control. The study will enroll adult patients without cardiac or respiratory illness. It is designed to evaluate the effect of the ventilatory pattern (tidal volume, rate) on respiratory heat loss measured using the VQm™ monitor during standard intra-operative clinical care that requires positive pressure ventilation (PPV)

Conditions

• Ventilation Perfusion Mismatch

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	controlled positive pressure ventilation 9ml/kg tidal volume	controlled positive pressure ventilation 9ml/kg tidal volume
OTHER	controlled positive pressure ventilation 6ml/kg tidal volume	controlled positive pressure ventilation 6ml/kg tidal volume
